Imaging and image evaluation

Tabbed contents

Phenotyping biological samples using multiple imaging methods forms a core competence of preclinical research. This enables thorough depiction, from the smallest structures (cell organelles) right through to entire organ systems, both in spatial and temporal resolution (4D). Fraunhofer IZI has access to a comprehensive, state-of-the-art equipment pool that enables the acquisition and evaluation of various (also correlative) image data. Partners and customers are advised on biological, technical and economic matters and supported in carrying out and evaluating experiments. Furthermore, experimental procedures and equipment can be used, adapted and developed.

By analyzing cells and tissue without modifying or destroying them, the unit aims to support research into fundamental biological relationships as well as the testing of new therapeutic methods. As this requires interdisciplinary cooperation in the fields of electrical engineering, optics, imaging, software development and biology, the specialist group is closely tied in to the Biotronic Systems chair at Leipzig University of Applied Sciences (HTWK).

In histology and pathology, immunohistochemical sections are still indispensable. In order to evaluate histological sections according to high standards, they are being increasingly digitalized and examined with complex image analysis tools. Our institute is intensively researching the development of these techniques and offers slide scanning services and professional image analysis.
